  1. You are so correct! Bring back all the AMT '32s.
  2. Well, I missed out on those Coupes. I really wish I'd scored a couple. I need a few more '32s.
  3. I found this. https://mcwfinishes.com/shop NOt sure what you need.
  4. I've always been more of a Def Lepard/Krokus fan, than Ozzie. But, there was nobody quite like him. He will be missed.
  5. Frozen Meatballs, String Cheese, Diet Canada Dry Fruit Splash Ginger Ale, Blue Bunny Soft Vanilla Ice cream. (with Butterscotch topping)
  6. Blue Ox Models Open the kit. Starts at 9:09 in the video.
  7. Neat Builds. Have you seen this page? http://the.shadock.free.fr/Surviving_Japanese_Medium_Tanks.pdf About 3/4 the way down there is one of these S.P.s in a museum. Type 1 Ho-Ni SPG – US Army Artillery Museum, Fort Sill, OK (USA
  8. One of the best Known Modelers in the world has passed. We have all heard of him, and many here own at least one of his kits. Mr. Shunsaku Tamiya. https://tamiyablog.com/2025/07/in-memoriam-mr-shunsaku-tamiya/

  10. The Willis is possible with the AMT Willis Pickup. Have to fill the hole in the hood, but It is do-able. Bunch of other small details to fix. I think the Flathead Jeep engine is the stock motor, but I doubt it is enough for ramp truck. I'd try it on the MPC Chevy Ramp truck though. It might work.
  11. If it is engraving on the plastic grill, then no, it is the same.
  12. Great Save, Chuck. As usual the backstory nicely completes the model. Good Show.
  13. With the Captain Hook Wrecker soon to be on the shelves, I found some reference materiel that might be of use. You can have your Captain Hook in any colour you like so long as it is RPO 25 blue metallic paint. https://holmeswreckers.com/captain_hook.htm Hope this helps somebody.

  14. Here is the review of the Pink car from HPI Guy, back when it was new. (7 years ago) I think the Pink one has better decals.
  15. I missed this when you first posted. Outstanding Work! Good Show.
  16. What the Hey! Yes, a new body for sure!
  17. I have a couple of those saw blades, I think. I have not opened that particular X-Acto toolbox in 8-10 years.
  18. That Looks very sharp, Mike! The choice of Colours is perfect for that car. Good Show.
  19. I want one! Who cares If I have not worked on a car since 2002! It will look good on my toolbox.
  20. Those are Trucks! Heavy, a bit Clumsy, with "Armstrong" powered controls, these were the real Workhorse vehicles of the day. At one time they were everywhere. I still remember seeing a few of them skulking around local farms and oilfields in the late 1970's. Worn, with tired paint, cracked glass and smoking some, they still pulled their weight. You really brought back some memories, here! Fantastic builds of some easily overlooked trucks. Good Show.
  21. That's what I'd do. Save the Money and Effort for the Outside Changes where you'll get more Bang for the Buck. Congratulations on the Start!
  22. Some of these ex-Monogram kits are at Hobby Lobby, in Revell boxes too. If the Kit is listed as 1/24 scale, it is probably an old Monogram kit. Old Lindberg kits can be fun to build, but older Lindberg Instruction sheets can be a bear to read sometimes. Ask hear about any kit you are interested in, and we'll be happy to share our thought about it. Glad to see you building again. Have Fun.
